To determine which sentence expresses the meaning of the word "astonish," you will need to understand the definition of the word. "Astonish" means to surprise or impress greatly.
Now, let's analyze the given options:
A. Marley says that nothing will surprise Scrooge, given all that he has seen.
This sentence does not explicitly express astonishment. It actually suggests the opposite, that Scrooge cannot be surprised.
B. Christmas present asks Scrooge to touch his robe.
This sentence does not mention astonishment or a surprising event.
C. Fred's wife expressed her pleasure at the amount of laughter in her marriage.
This sentence does not indicate astonishment. It talks about pleasure and happiness, not surprise.
D. Bob Cratchit requests that Martha play the notes on the lute for Tiny Tim's song.
This sentence does not involve astonishment but rather a simple request.
Based on the analysis, none of the given options explicitly expresses the meaning of the word "astonish." Therefore, none of them is the correct answer.
